Recipe: Quesadillas

The ultimate fast, budget-friendly meal — just tortillas, cheese, and whatever fillings you have on hand. They cook in minutes and are endlessly adaptable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks. Perfect for using up leftovers, they’re a crispy, melty way to turn odds and ends into something tasty. Stock some chili powder, oregano and grab extra packets of hot sauce when you’re out for your pantry. Frozen vegetables, especially mixes, work great, just be sure to thaw them first.
